Investing in our people means equipping them to better serve others.
At our recent all-staff meeting, we welcomed the Mental Health Association in Delaware to provide practical tools and guidance for navigating mental health both in the workplace and in our everyday lives.
From recognizing signs of distress to understanding how to respond with empathy and care, this session reinforced our commitment to supporting the well-being of our staff, members, and communities.
Building stronger communities starts with taking care of one another. @mhadelaware

This weekend, hundreds of Delaware families came together at their local YMCA for Healthy Kids Day, celebrating what it takes to raise strong, healthy, and connected kids. From hands-on activities to trusted community resources, it was a day full of energy and shared purpose.
Take a look at some of the moments that made it special!
Healthy kids are supported by communities that care. Thank you to @nemours , our inaugural Bright Futures Partner, for helping make healthier kids and stronger families across Delaware possible.

It’s time to take action!
As we wrap up Five Days of Action®, we invite you to sign the pledge to protect children from abuse and commit to ongoing digital safety awareness.

Today, during Five Days of Action®, we’re highlighting the importance of monitoring online activity and having a plan. Did you know that 1 in 5 children who use a digital device will be sexually solicited online? Technology changes fast, and kids are targeted on the apps, games, and sites they love. Having a Cyber P.L.A.N., monitoring device use, and teaching online safety rules can help keep your child safe. Visit the link in our bio and check out resources from our partners in child abuse prevention, @LaurensKids , to learn how to set boundaries, teach good cyber habits, and protect your family online. #ymca #ymcade #onlinesafety #childprotection #cybersecurity #digitalwellbeing #childabuseprevention #parentingtips #safeonline #internetsafety #fivedaysofaction
POV: Your kid is actually confident in the water this summer.
Not just splashing… swimming, floating, staying safe 🙌
At the YMCA of Delaware, kids are learning skills that can reduce drowning risk by up to 88%.
Less fear. More fun. Total confidence 🏊♂️
From the name you know and trust.

Today, during Five Days of Action®, we’re encouraging parents and caregivers to stay on top of trends and research online safety. From apps to gaming, staying on top of digital trends can be overwhelming. @NCMEC offers free resources to help trusted
adults understand online risks—including sextortion and the growing use of generative AI—and talk with kids about staying safe. Check out the tip sheets at the link in our bio, and be sure to explore the other resources provided by the Y’s partners in child abuse prevention, NCMEC. Together, we can build safer communities! #fivedaysofaction #ymca #ymcade #onlinesafety #digitaltrends #childprotection #sextortion #AIsafety #parenting #communitysafety #onlinerisks
